Deadly monsoon flooding in India

India began the mass cremation of bodies recovered after devastating
floods in the country's northern Himalayan region. Hundreds of people are still missing. The floods, triggered by heavier than normal and early monsoon
rains, have killed at least 822 people and displaced tens of thousands
of inhabitants in Uttarakhand state, a popular destination for Hindu
pilgrims due to its shrines and temples. (Reuters)
